Hello,

I am a Canadian national currently teaching English in Thailand. I would like to have a job in IT this year. I already have a Degree in Computer Science and I've almost finish another degree in Software Engineering (still have one year left to do). I have 2 years of experience in the domain.

Most jobs requires Thai nationality. Where could I find a job in this domain ?

Please contact me by e-mail at [email protected]

Best regards,

2 years "experience"...where is the value to a Thai employer in a acquiring you ? There are loads of Thais with this on their resume.

10 years "expertise" would give you a more saleable resume.

I have to agree - I'm running a software company here & currently recruiting but I have lots of Thai applicants with experience. There's lots of Indians applying here too & the impression is that they are good & will take less salary than a westerner.

What I'd recommend is that you get experience in a specific application - SAP, Telecomms billing, etc - then you'll have a fighting chance at a job with someone implementing that application.

Alternatively, I hear that the oil rigs have software personnel, so in theory, you could work 2 weeks on/3 weeks off on the rigs & spend your 3 weeks each time in Thailand.

This sounds interesting, I just searched for information about it online, but have not found anything, could you elaborate on this?
